Many charities have high overhead, and the donated money doesn’t reach the purpose of the charity. A joke was posted on Twitter by Sickipedia on January 3, 2012:
 
“I just donated a thousand pounds to a blind children’s charity, not that the kids will ever see any of it.”
 
“I just donated $100 to a blind children’s charity, not that the kids will ever see any of it” was also posted on Twitter on January 3, 2012. The joke has been printed on several images.
